EFFECT OF SalFT - INVOTES ANALYZED Change of 950,000 Would |1 Have Given Hoover Second Term. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Four years ago & change of 200,000 ‘otes out of a total of 35,000,000 would have elected Alfred E. Smith. This year a change of 950,000 out of 35,000,000 would have elected Her- bert Hoover. A change of only 119,000 votes would have given Mr. Roosevelt the unani- mous vote of the Electoral College, namely. 531 votes. Four years ago Mr. Smith received the highest total ever received by any candidate of either party except one, namely, the victor in the 1928 con- test, and this time Mr. Hoover re- celved more than 40 per cent of the total vote, yet his electoral total is the smallest any Republican candidate | has received in any year since the Civil War with the exception of 1912. The results in electoral voting which might have been brought about by a change in 950,000 votes distributed in certain States shows how a minority popular vote could defeat the will of the people in a presidential election. As for electoral votes, too, the change of only 119,000 votes would have given Mr. Hoover no electoral votes at all, notwithstending the fact that about 15,000,000 people voted for him this ear. The changes, of course, would ve had to occur in the six States which Mr. Hoover carried. When the Republican majorities by which these six States are normally carried are noted it will be seen how closely Mr. Roosevelt came to winning a unanimous electoral vote. Tammany's Part Small. As for Mr. Hoover, a change of 177,000 would have carried Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kan- change the added 47 would have been obtained to win 266, l:crtuch is the majority Decessary to elect. Had the courts decreed that New York City could not have a mayoralty election ! year, the disaffected Walker vote might have made a differ- ence of 300,000 in the metropolis. As it was, any had a candidate for mayor on whom it had to concentrate all its energies to win. Mayor-elect O'Brien ran 380,000 behind the Roose- velt ticket, which indicates clearly that the many people knew they had a ey pledged all their voting wer to Roosevelt. ruumued‘-wmx of 800,000 for Roosevelt in New Yeork City to offset the upstate majority. Actu- ally it did not reach that figure but came within 100,000 of the mark. So 's part in New York State is something for which the Presi- ~dent-elect will not need to express ition, since he could have won the Nation, Tammany would have had the privilege of electing a President How European System Works. ‘These are the idiosyncrasies of an electoral system as distinguished .| a5 a precaution lent Elected to House Upper: Mrs. Virginia Jenckes, Demo- crat of Terre Haute, Ind,, who defeated two members of Congress, one, Fred Purnell, powerful Republican House member, to become the first woman in the history of the State to be elected to Congress.

SAN FRANCISCO, November 12— While hundreds watched and two Fire Department officers and a policeman sought to stay her, a woman identified | as Mrs. Mary McCarthy, 45, leaped from a water tower on the Filmarte Theater Building yesterday into O'Far- rell street.

Only the street railway employes voted not to respond to the strike call and, even so, cars were not moving on schedule, ¥ ‘There was no sign of disorder, but the populace was considerably excited over the Socialist aciion. Precaptions Are Taken. Military precautions were also taken at Lausanne, nearby, and Bern, al- though the strike order was effective only in the cantan of Geneva.. A fed- eral edict from Bern placed all of- fenders against military force in Geneva under jurisdiction of miltary courts. Meanwhile, Leon ~Nicola, Socialist editor, who was arrested Thursday on charges of fomenting revolution, was given a hearing for bail. Bond was de- nied and he was returned to prison pending trial. He was an active par- ucipant in Wednesday's demonstration. A detachment of soldiers picketed the headquarters of the League of Nations and .the streets in the vicinity of the infantry barracks were full of soldiers. This area was marked off with flimsy barricades, behind which detals, armed with machine guns and rifles, held their weapons ready. In front of the barricades crowds of youths and men bantered and joked with the soldiers. Most of the shops in the downtown area were open and the strike appeared not to be completely effective.

Representative Heartsill Ragon, Demo- crat, of Arkansas, chairman of the House Campaign Fund Committee, to day announced that an investigation into the Delaware and Eastern Penn- sylvania elections Tuesday would open here November 15. Ragon said numerous complaints had been filed with him on elections in both | States, particularly about Philadelphia. Apparently, he said, considerable evi- dence attempting to show that votes were purchased in Philadelphia and Delaware also would be presented at the hearings. Representative Black, Democrat, of New York, headed a group of investi- gators who gather the evidence, Ragon sald. One investigator for the committee, the Arkansan added, had informed him that colored persons in Delaware were paid a dollar each for their votes and that an investigator had been com- pelled to close the polls at one place because of apparent larities. Ragon also had one $5 bill in an en- velope which he sald one voter had turned over to the investigators stating that he had been given the money for his vote.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 12.—Carrie Chapman Catt, ploneer woman suffra- gist, told the International Goodwill Congress yesterday that “many women belleve the hesitation to act promptly in accordance with agreements” for dis- armaments is due to “a revival of men's loyalty to the business of war.” “Women who think these things,” she declared, “are losing faith in the Disarmament Conference, in the new peace machinery, in the leaders of the nation who make eloquent peace speeches, but whose representatives are ent and inactive. We are invited to be patient. Why?

BY W. R. McCALLUM. J. Munro Hunter, tall professional from the Army-Navy Country Club, led the early starters in the National Cap- ital open golf championship at the Ken- wood Golf and Country Club today with a card of 74, four over par. Playing in & brisk northwest wind, which forced most of the competitors to shiver in heavy sweaters and windbreakers, Hunter negotiated the first nine in 36 and came back in 38. Two strokes be- hind him was Telford Gibraski, unat- tached Washington pro, who shot two 38's for a 76. Prancis Gallet, Scotish pro from ‘Wauwatosa, Wis., played the first nine holes in 34. Ralph Beach, former ‘Washington pro, now at Baltimore, scored a 35 for the fiyst nine. The first hole, 458 yards in length, caused plenty of trouble, as the players tried to pilot golf balls through the half Hunter's card with pa: tutions. At present, women in 47| g, countries are bound together in world understanding, which seems to be more definite, and to rise higher than any type of union for world understanding among men. * * * Democracy and Promise. “Democracy has promised disarma- ment. Now it timidly hesitates while militarism lures the pledged nations to follow a new trall and thus forget the one-time promise solemnly made to disarm.” ‘The Congress stood in silent prayer today ‘for Col. Raymond Robins, the prohibition leader and social worker 'who disappeared two months ago. He was a prominent member of the World Alliance for International Priendship, which is sponsoring the good-will cungress. “I think we should pay tribute,” said Pred B. Smth, chairman of the Execu- tive Commitiee and a friend of Robins, “to a man who worked for many years with this alliance and who walked out of the City Club on the afternoon of September 3, into oblivion. God alone knows whether he is alive or dead. It is one of the greatest mysteries of the |8 Autumn.” Dr. Charles Clayton Morrison, editor, was applauded when he predicted even- tual co-operation between the United States and the League of Nations. Change Among People. “There will be changes in the struc- ture of the League to conform to the new international law which the peace pact created,” he said. “There will be a changed temper among the American people. It will be & more co-operative, a less saspicious, & more responsible temper.” He told the congress that peace ad- vocates “must learn to make & place in their philosophy for a crisis such_as that which still persists in the Far East.” Such crises, he said, strengthen the machinery for peace. Dr. Julius Curtius, former German foreign minister, told the congress that Europe is slowly feeling its way toward co-operation and that “Germany cer- tainly will be in the first rank of such constructive endeavors.” To speak at an international Armi- stice day celebration, he said, was “dif- ficult for a German, doubly difficult for a former German minister, and still more difficult for an old German sol- d ‘e took to arms” he continued, “golemnly convinced that we were called to fight a just war of defense. We resent the thesis of Germany's sole "Whieh has the annals of Strawn Another Speaker, Another speaker was Silas H. Strawn of Chicago, who said that “while I would not minimize our present diffi- culties, T submit that we are emphasiz- ing too much the evil factors and that we are overlooking the great natural re- sources of our country and the splendid courage and enterprise of our people.” He called for “a campaign of educa- tion for support of our Government, the stability of our institutions and the improvement of our material and spirit- ual welfare.” LEGION BALL ENDS ARMISTICE FESTIVITIES National Comdr.

COURAGE HIGH Reacts Well to Defeat as He Speeds East for Final Months in. Office. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ABOARD PRESIDENT'S TRAIN EN ROUTE TO WASHINGTON, November 11.—As President Hoover starts back across continent, newspaper corre= spondents with him are curious to see how he will react after the election to the station crowds along the way and Whether there will be any great crowds to acclaim him en route. There i3 every reason to belleve that Mr. Hoover himself, and his associates, recalling the huge turnouts of cheering men and women during the virtually triumphal parade from Washington to the Pacific ‘Coast, also are wondering about the attitude of the people, now ::imt the battle has been decided against im. In his final electionebring expedition Mr. Hoover was impressed with the size and enthusiasm of the crowds at every stop, but, just the same, he was not in- sensible to the fict that all of the ac- claim was not for the candidate; that much of it was because he was Presl~ dent. Only One Train Speech. Former Senator Henry J. Allen of , director of publicity for the Hoover campaign, who accompanied the President the greater part of the west- ward journey, when asked by this writer just how Mr. Hoover would act in case he lost, throughout the long trip back to the White House, replied: “In the event that should happen the Presi= dent will accept it gracefully and will come back with his chin in the air.” We who have been with the Presi- dent throughout this campaign can say up to this point.that Senator Allen knew his man. Mr. Hoover has t- 'dltlflmhfl!ylndlhmm chin has been in the air, and there is every reason to believe that he is not lu? to lower ft. nmn?mg his traln schedule for the return journey as few stops as pos= sible have been included. In designat~ ing this, Mr. Hoover's purpose was to get back to his desk in the White House as fast as possible, and not be- cause he wished to avoid the crowds. There is every reason to expect the customary station gatherings, generally on hand to pay their fespects to the Chief Executive of the country, and to the President’s e: But except for the brief speecl Glendale, Calif,, today, on the out- skirts of Los Angeles, he will make no addresses. .
